te'Te Justice Ilinson Thomas yestor
Hy afternoon. Tho hearing was con.
iBucd until th's afternoon at 2 o'clock.
From tho tostimony brought out yes
terday, it appears that Woods had said
to Palmer that he, Woods, had been
iired for $5,000 trkUl'tnft miner in
crdcr to placo tho sheriff and Newman

Woods told Palmer that an attempt had
teen made to "fix somo crooked pa
res" in order to oust him from the
rrinorty.
Nowman Was Informed.
Woods, it appears, became intoxi-
ntcJ whilo in Globe a week or ten
i3 ago and spoko on "tho street of
thf- alleged plot in which ho claimed
i avo been hired to kill Palmor. The
a cr was kept very qu'ct, but come

cs'e sworo out a complaint charging
KooJs with criminal libel. Woods, in

U1 been arrested, was given out until
ffgterday afternoon,-whon it was an-
: meed that Wood3 would bo. given
l nrcliminary hearing at 4:30 o 'clock.
Brief as the notice was, thero was a
Iffowd in the little court TOom, and tho
proceedings proved intercsi'ng enough.
Qcorgo Palmer was tho first man
flaced on tho stand. Ho told how ho
ii been approached by Woods with
information that he, Woods, had
tn asked to "fix somo crooked pa
pers," and that ho had refused, after
xh h Woods claimed to have been of
Wd first $2000 and then $5000 to kill
Pa'mer to got him off tho property al
leged to be coveted by the so-called
plotters.
The witness was exceedingly nervous,
bis fingers continually twitching' and
piek'ng at each other all the while he
ipoke, although ho was otherwise ap
parently calm and spoko in a steady,
mbdued voico.
Warned Off Street
"Ho told mo I had better keep off
I the street, and you bet I took them at
their word," he said to the court. "I
:ever took no chances, but I kept in-
nde nil tho time. I havo been shot at
i:d called out of my house too many
tiaes, anyway, to take any chances."
"You say you have been shot at;
is that hero!" interposed the court.
"No, that was before I camo here."
"Then vou havo had such troubles as
'lis before, have you,. Mr. Palmer?"
"Yes sir," and 'the witness glanced
tfcrvously around.
"Whero wa that!"
"In New Mexico" ,:
"Recently!'?
"No; it was on March 12, 18S7."
Palmer stated :n effect that ever since
the date named he had been annoyed
iaj persecuted, and that when ho was
Jlo i of tho alleged plot in this city,
t concluded it to bo tho part of wis
ioai to remain in hiding at night. Ho
id not know Bill Stilea rnr Ed McQce
also known as "Pecos Kid," but said
ftat Woods had told h.m of a visit

I'OD'oetcd in a room at tho Dominion
sotel.

"He told mo that they wcro offered

At this point. Attorney Wiley 13.
'ontg, informing tho court that ho was
"'prcsentine Messrs. Thompson and
Wman, was granted lcavo to inter
"ORa'e tho witnesses with Attorney J.
Weinberger, representing, tho territory.
The defondant, Woods, also question

portance to tho admission that when
they had met in tho offico of Allrod &
Whitchcr, Palmer had gone out of the
build'ng through tho roar, whilo Woods
came down tho stops in front.
Constablo Peterson was tho next wit

O. F. Whitcher Testifies.
O. Do you know the defendnnt!
A. I havo seen him foeforc.
Q. Havo you heard anything rela
tive to alleged plots of killing George
Palmer?
A. I havo hoard about all that has
been alleged. " ' '
Q. Havo you heard anything con

A. I think I-saw the dofondant and
talked with him in my office on two dif
ferent occasions.
Q. Relative to this matter?
A. Yes.
Q. Will you please state what trans
pired on thoso occasions!
A. Ho camo in with Georgo Palmer.
Georgo Palmer introduced h!m to mo
and said that this was tho man that
told him that Jack Newman and Hen
ry Thompson had tried to get him to
! kill him (Palmer)., and I questioned him
about it. I asked him what thero was
to it. I had iieard. about it before that,
two or thrco times. "Well," ho sad,
"thev tred to get mo to do it." He
, told me tley offered him two thousand
I dollars to kill George Palmor and he
refused, and they afterwards raised the
figure to fivo thousand, and ho still re
fused. I asked him if he got any of
their monev, and he said, "No, not for
killing."
I asked him if he had been approach
ed by anybody to sign any affidavits in
reference to somo min'ng clnims, and
he said yos, that he and two other men
had been approached. Ho said they
took him to an offico over the postofficc
and tried to get him to sign an affidavit,
and ho refused. He camo down and
met Georgo Palmer and told him about
it and Palmer wanted him to go back
and find out all about it. lie said there
was a man thero by tho namo of Coffee.
They came down and went over to
tho courthouse, he said, and into a room
where thero was an otd man with gray
wh'skcrs, and they tried to get him and
another man to sign somo affidavits con
ccrning somo mining claims. Ho said
one of' the claims was called tho Dcwoy.
Ho said he refused to sign tho affidavits
arid tho other man also refused. He
said he cussed them out and camo away.
He said ono man backed out of the
room. Then ho said that another night
two men came for him in a hack and
t'bey wont to tho Dominion hotel, and
they got ono hundred dollars apiece in
monoy that was the night they offered
him two thousand dollars to kill Palmer.
Ho said that then thoy went downtown
and got on a drunk and were drunk
two or thrco days.
Then ho went back, and they offerod
him fivo thousand dollars and ho re
fnscd to do it and said Palmer was a
man ho would not kill; said ho was out
of troublo and proposed to stay out. I
asked him if he had nny object'on to
making an affidavit to what had taken
place ns he told it to me, and lie said
no. I asked him if the other men would
mako an affidavit and ho said ho
thought they would. I then called Mr.
Allred in and asked him to bring his
typewriter in and I went and got the
mnch'no mysolf. T nsked him if ho
would get the other men to como over
and make tho affidavit. This was about
5:30 p. m. Ho said ho could get tho
other men in the ovening about half
paso seven or eight o'clock.
Mr. Allred mado arrangements to
como back at that timo and I sent for a
stenographer and a notary public, and
thoy came, and about half past V'ight
Mr. Woods camo in and said ho had
rhad anothor talk with Jack Nowman
and Jack had given him another check
for fifty dollars, and ho was to got mbre,
tho noxt clay. Ho said the other boys
were down garabl'ng and ho could not
get them away, but. they would bo in
atcr the noxt day and mako affida
vits. I asked him somo more questions,
somo questions about tho check; nnd.ho
said Nowman asked him if ho thought
he could "got him.' I asked' him 'if
ho had any thoughts of doing sucti'a1
thing and' .ho saidnono whatovdr,,,it:3'
(J LOBE, GILA COUNTY, ARIZONA, THURSDAY.

assurance that ho had no intent'on of
doing any harm to Mr. Palmer and
that was about all I was interested in

the country is on tho vergo of war with

of Japancso soldiers could and would

Captain Hobson said Pear harbor, the

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
York, October 2S. Taft and Hughes
wero tho attractions at a great repub
lican mass meeting nt Madison Square
Garden tonight.
Tho mooting was remarkable in bev
cral respects. At every mention of
Hughes' name, the hall resounded with
cheers, and when he entered the hall,
tho crowd which filled every available
space in the aud'toriuin, cheered him
sixteen m'nutcs without stopping.
Hughes made a characteristic address,
which was received enthusiastically.
But it remained for Taft to inspire
the greatest demonstration. For nine
teen miuutes Madison Siuaro Garden
trembled wjth tho stamping of feet and
the roar of voices. Taft tried to quell
tho racket, but was powerless to do so.
When tho noise ceased, Taft began
his address. His voico was hoarse, but
the crowd was satisfied to merely look
at him and his every ward was cheer
ed. Durng the day, Taft addressed four
teen meetings and Governor Hughes
spoke at fifteen. Then tonight, whilo
the Madison Squaro Garden meeting
was in progress, a giant parado was
wending its way in a down pour of rain
through the hear of the city.
General Horace Porter called tho
meeting to order. Porter began by say
ing that ho never nttended such an en
thusiastic meet:ng. Ho then attacked
Bryan, saying that ho was suffering
from political aud financial delusions.
Senator Lodgo aroused much enthusi
asm and was received with a round of
cheers when ho predicted the election of
Taft.
Oscar Strauss invited a burst of ap
plause by alluding to Prcs'dent Roose
velt as tho greatest president since
Abraham Lincoln.
Governor Hughes first paid a tribute
to Taft, then took up the issuos of the
state campaign. While Hughes was
6peaking, cheers were heard outside
and shouts of "Taft, Taft, Taft," made
him cut his speech short.
Taft did not appear, howevor, and
Georgo A. Knight of Cal'fornia, was
introduced as tho next speaker. It was
11:02 p. m. when Taft arrived.
General Porter introduced him as
"our next president." j
Jmlgo Taft's voice was very hoarse
and ho made his speech brief.
Beforo going to Madison Square Oar
don Taft sooke at Cooper Union hall.
Ho there discussed the labor question
in greater deta'l than heretofore.

ALBANY, October 28. The feature
of Bryan 'a tour up state today was tho
appearance on tho platform here to
night, of former United States Senator
David B. Hill. It was the first time in
soveral years that 1111 had attended
such a gathering, so when ho steppod
forward as chairman to introduce tho
democracy's leader, the great .crowd
which packed the hall whero the meet
ing was'held, aroso to a man and chocr
ed enthusiastically.
"Although not ronnccted with poli
ties," Haill said, "I reiterate that I
am heartily in favor of the clect'on of
the democratic national and state tick
ets. I am not so partisan, however, that
I would support the party whether1
.right or wrong, but permit me to say
that I support the national ticket iti this
campaign because, in my judgment, our
prcsident'al candidate, who honors ns
with his presence here tonight, is ab
solutely right upon overy contested1
question in this campaign. It is timo
for a chango in the administrat'on of
the government, a change of- measures
and men." ' "'
The democratic candidate received an
ovation when he rose to speak. Ho was
cheered to the echo and the large audi
ence reluctantly obeyed hi3 gesture to
become quiet. He "expressed his1 app'rc-
ciation of the cordial' 'welcomo ho re-
co ved, and said: '
"I bcliovo we arc going to win a
great victory, and my friend, I 'am
glad that Senator Hill, the hero of so
many battles, is fighting by my-'side,
prepared to share with me tho joys
of a democratic 'triumph."
Bryan referred repeatedly to Taft V
